Resolve To Be Resolute

I love lists. Not a day goes by that I don't create a list - grocery list, to-do list, to-see list, to-read, to-listen and on and on.

So what could be more nourishing for the soul and outright delicious but to start the new year off with a whopping big list?! Nothing, I tells ya! The beauty of a list is how it grows the more you write... I love it. But I have made my resolutions, and I'm resolving to stick by them. Here they are:

• Cook from a new recipe every week (this is actually a reprisal from an old NY Resolution List but it's a goodie and deserves another shot for 2009
• Consider tennis coaching (see how I said "consider" rather than "attend"? - this depends on thousands of factors but has nothing to do with motivation - I would just love to prance around in tennis whites while I chat up a cute tennis instructor for an hour per week and, obviously... work on my serve)
• Avoid damage to physical being as much as possible - for example, assuming attend tennis coaching, do not get stabbed a la Seles. I also hope to keep my liver in tact, and reduce amount of drinking (yeah right... )
• Sort out my finances (I believe the only way to do this is to marry well)
• Sort out my career - muchos cashos etc
• Travel (totally cheating - I booked flights last year).

So... I thought - yeah they're not bad resolutions. I think I can stick by those... except the damage to body one. But my list was put to shame by Spiritual Cowgirl 's* awesome resolutions:

• To do something each week that makes absolutely no sense, but reawakens every one of my senses
• To laugh as much as possible at impossibility
• To claim ecstasy as my birthright
• To dance the way a star explodes, a baby yawns, an angel groans, a wave crashes
• To soak my ego in Love’s drool
• To spread eagle my convictions
• To give without abandoning myself
• To completely redvolutionize my sexuality
• To sleep with as many deities as possible..and some angels..and maybe some demons… if they use the proper protection tee hee hee... me likey!
• To speak my truth, even when it feels like a lie
• To allow abundance to attack my life
• To play play play play play play play play play play play play
